"The Great Geological Wonder" of New South Wales, 1854. Unusual rock formation in Australia. The moon has lent her mystic influence to the scene. The view is taken at the top of a cliff, where the rocks present all the appearance of having been shattered and battered by artillery. Here are globular pieces resembling the largest cannon-balls; they are of grey granite with white centres. Some of them are half plunged into the mass of rock, and must have been thrown into their present position ages ago, when the granite mass, which is of a different colour and description, was in a soft state. Balls are to be found detached and scattered about, as well as fixed fast in the throats of fissures, and rent fragments, as if they had split them up. A clear fresh-water river runs past the bottom of the precipice...An aboriginal guided our Correspondent, Mr. Robert Cook, to this extraordinary hill...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
